Parallella is a new product created by Adapteva, Inc. \cite[parallella-board]. It represents a small supercomputer, that has been in development for almost two years with only testing series of boards produced until now (first single-board computers with 16-core Epiphany chip were shipped in December 2013) \cite[parallella-board]. The board has nearly ideal parameters for signal processing (as it provides around 50 GFLOPS of computational power). It is is equipped with Epiphany coprocessor which has 16 High Performance RISC CPU Cores, Zynq-7020 FPGA with Dual ARM® Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ and operating frequency of 866 MHz, 1GB RAM, 85K Logic Cells, 10/100/1000 Ethernet and OpenCL support \cite[parallella16-board]. In addition to this, the board consumes only 3 Watts of power if both Zynq and Epiphany cores are running simultaneously. |

The main disadvantage of Parralella board is its unknown lead time and an absence of SATA interface or other interface suitable for data storage connection. Fast data storage interface would be useful and would allow bulk processing of captured data. Following that, the results of data processing may be sent over the Ethernet interface to data storage server. |
